Library Online Databases

  • There are many different online databases of various sizes and with different content.
  • You are probably used to using EBSCOhost's main article database search interface.
  • For this assignment, try using this specialized database interface to search collected biographies.
  • You won't find as many articles as the main EBSCOhost search (linked next), but hopefully what you find is helpful.
  • Remember to use the "Cite" tool (yellow paper icon).

HINTS:

  • After searching, use "Refine Results" (on the left). For example, remove the Source Type "Reviews."
  • When viewing a specific search result, look under "Subjects" to find the "authorized" name record to click.
  • When viewing a specific search result, remember to use tools (on the right) like "Cite."

HINTS:

  • After searching, use left column to narrow search results. For example, select the Subject "athletes."
  • When viewing a specific search result, make sure to check "Related items" (on the right).
  • When viewing a specific search result, remember to use tools (on the right) like "Cite."
